At least he goes home and has a life instead of riding around in something for two months that smells like feet and farts inside. Everyone that has done this for any length of time finds their own nitch. Not being a slave to another mega.

I was inspired by your post and I thought that I would actually put pen to paper to see what my figures would be. Here's what I came up with. Keep in mind that I normally only work Monday-Friday. I based this on 52 weeks (1 year) which = 260 regular days of work. I get paid 8 hours just for showing up. I normally work 6-11 hours a day. Of course, anything over 8 hours is overtime. My start time is whenever I want. I usually show up between 0230-0300. And yes, I drive a day cab pulling a tanker.
52 weeks = 260 days
5 weeks of vacation = 25 days
12 sick days = 12 days
13 holidays = 13 days
That leaves a total of 210 days worked. 210 days X 106 miles = 22,260 miles driven in my pickup for a year. However, I must admit that I do like to work on holidays as it pays 2.5 times my hourly wage on those days. So lets change the days worked to 223. That equates to 23,638 my driven in my pickup.
And if for some reason there is work to be done over the weekend, depending on what's going on at home, I just might work a day. Saturday pays time and a half and Sunday pays double time.
I agree with you that this actually might be on of the "7 rings of hell". It's not for everyone. But I bet it would for most of the drivers on this board as well as others who are not here. However, it definitely works for me!dwells40, Jarhed1964, Winnyf1 and 1 other person Thank this. -

The battery replacement has made a huge....wait a HUGE difference in my idle time. I was consistently averaging in the 31-32% range...this week's scorecard, 20% with a fair amount of overnight a/c time (when it worked right) even with me fighting the occasional comfort mode glitch and rigging it to run all night w/o shutting off, it was still way better.
